Forest Hills Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Forest Hills Golf Course?

We always recommend visiting Forest Hills in late spring or early fall. The weather is perfect for golf, and you'll find the course in pristine condition without the peak summer crowds. Avoid mid-summer if you don't love humidity, as the back nine can feel a bit stifling.

How challenging is Forest Hills, and what are its must-play holes?

Forest Hills offers a fair challenge for most handicaps, but don't underestimate the back nine's elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers. Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th, which demands a precise shot over water, and the dramatic downhill par-5 15th, where a good drive can set up a real eagle opportunity.

What can I expect to pay for a round at Forest Hills, and is it worth it?

Green fees at Forest Hills typically range from $75-$120, depending on the day and time you play. We think it's excellent value for a course of this caliber, especially considering the immaculate upkeep and the memorable layout. You're paying for a consistently great golf experience, not just a round.

What makes Forest Hills unique compared to other courses in the region?

What truly sets Forest Hills apart is its seamless integration with the natural rolling terrain, particularly on the front nine. You won't find many flat lies here, which makes for constantly engaging shots and requires thoughtful club selection. The mature oak trees also frame many holes beautifully, adding to its classic feel.

What are the practice facilities like, and is there a good spot for a post-round drink?

The practice facilities at Forest Hills are solid-you'll find a decent driving range and a large putting green that accurately reflects the course's undulations. After your round, head to 'The Oak Room' in the clubhouse; their patio offers fantastic views of the 18th green and is the perfect spot for a cold local brew.
